Lecture 45- Accessory GI Flashcards
What is the blood filled area between hepatocytes
Sinusoids
What is the hepatocyte arrangement
Cords
Layer of connective tissue surrounding the liver
Glisson’s capsule
What cell type covers the outer surface of the liver?
Mesothelial
Glisson’s Capsule + Mesothelial cells =
serosa
what veins take blood to and from the liver for filtration
To- portal vein
From- Central vein
Will hepatocytes nearest the portal vein or central vein die first in cases of anemia? What is this called?
Central vein
Central lobular necrosis
What type of cell lines the hepatic sinusoids?
Endothelial cells
What is the space between the endothelial cells and the hepatocytes in the sinusoid called?
Space of disse
What cells with brown cytoplasm can also be found in the sinusoid
Kupffer cells
What type of cell found in the space of disse makes collagen when the liver is damaged?
Ito cells
How can you identify an ito cell
They store lipids so they can look like adipocutes
Microscopic bile ducts between hepatocytes
Bile canaliculi
Bile travels from the liver to the bile duct to where
The gall bladder
What makes up the portal triad
Portal vein branch
Bile duct
Hepatic arteriole
